2013 Code of Alabama
Title 32 - MOTOR VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC.
Chapter 8 - UNIFORM CERTIFICATE OF TITLE AND ANTITHEFT ACT.
Section 32-8-68 - Recording and releasing security interests by electronic means.
Notwithstanding any requirement in this chapter that a lien on a motor vehicle shall be noted on the face of the certificate of title, if there is one lien or more liens or encumbrances on the motor vehicle, the department may electronically transmit the lien to the first lienholder and notify the first lienholder of any additional liens. Subsequent lien satisfactions may be electronically transmitted to the department and shall include the name and address of the person satisfying the lien. If liens and lien releases are processed electronically and the last lien is satisfied, a title will be issued to the owner of the vehicle in a manner prescribed by the department. When a vehicle is subject to an electronic lien, the certificate of title for the vehicle shall be considered to be physically held by the lienholder for purposes of compliance with state or federal odometer disclosure requirements. A duly certified copy of the department's electronic record of the lien shall be admissible in any civil, criminal, or administrative proceeding in this state as evidence of the existence of the lien.
